Making Sprouted almond milk is as easy as 1-2-3 and some of you might be a regular at making it! I started making my own almond milk shortly after turning vegan somewhere around 2013, Although I buy store bought almond milk when I know I won't be able to whip up mine at a given time. Silk and 365 organic brand from whole foods are the brands I prefer, But there is nothing close to drinking freshly made delicious almond milk at home, I just wish I could make it as often as I would like.

Sprouting almonds overnight is a wonderful way to get even more nutrients out of the nut! Here  are some amazing benefits.
  • Helps with weight loss-The monounsaturated fats in almonds curb your appetite and keep you full. Snacking on them avoid unhealthy binge eating and trigger weight loss.
  • They help in keeping your heart rate healthy and reduce bad cholesterol.
  •  They are good source of Vitamin E and works as an antioxidant which inhibits free radical damage that prevents aging and inflammation
  • They contain Vitamin B17 which is vital for fighting cancer
  • Flavonoids present in almonds suppresses tumor growth.
The information above must be enough to validate the importance of sprouted almonds in your family's diet.
For the recipe all you need is Almonds, some water, pitted dates and non alcoholic Vanilla essence to make slighter sweeter but you can choose to omit if you like it completely raw.

Ingredients & Procedure
  • Desired amount of almonds.
  • 4 cups of water or double the amount of almonds.
  • Pitted dates 2 (optional)
  • Non alcoholic vanilla essence. 1tsp (optional)
  • Nut milk bag or a cheesecloth like this http://amzn.to/1Vc4uz9
Soak almonds for atleast 8hrs or more, Once they are soaked for the desired time, Add to a blender and pour the water, Then you can prefer to add dates and vanilla extract. Blend and then crush. 
Once that's done strain it into a wide bowl through a nut milk bag and squeeze all the delicious milk leaving all the pulp in the bag  which I like to use in homemade face scrubs or smoothies!

Hi Vaishali,

I have mentioned above in my post that I use them for body scrubs and smoothies. Hope that clarifies your query.
